I love Charlie's featherduster feet, but after watching him lose his footing today and almost fall off the terrace wall (when admittedly he was annoying a sun-lounging Pouncer, which he oughtn't to do and perhaps served him right...) I decided it was time to take action. I'm no expert groomer, but I watched a couple of YouTube vids, got out my scissors, and we headed outside.
Charlie, as you can see, was not too keen on the whole thing.
He's all about being in "control" plus I think it must have tickled a little when I cut the underpaw fur.
Eventually, though, he relaxed in the sun and we got through it.
I don't think I would ever be hired to do this, but fortunately Charlie agrees that it's more important to be able to catch the kitties than to wow them with your good looks!

BOL. Cody hates it when sister trims his paw fur. he understand Charlie's pain. But fur your safety Charlie ! ;)
sometimes you gotta do stuff they don't like in order to make their lives better!
I think you look handsome with your trimmed paws Charlie. They make you look more refined.
Nice job Charlie's Mom :) Farley doesn't like his feet touched so we haven't had much luck in this area!
My brother Tiger is with you.
He sees the scissors or hairbrush come out and he runs.
But your feets do look cuter now.

As much as I love Sam's hairy toes, I love them when they are trimmed and cute too! Charlie looks very handsome!

Hey Charlie, KT here, thanks for stopping by, nice to meet ya. What a cowinkydink; Lady got her paws trimmed by Mr. Alpha just yesterday. She rolls over on her back while being tickled and trimmed. She doesn't particularly like it, but tolerates it as a favor to me....she is such a sweety.
We found Lady when she was being fostered in Boring, OR. The rest is history and she is now with us in her fur-ever home.
Lots of Golden woofs.....KT and Lady
Love all your photos here! I am a dog lover too.
By the way, I own a site that has a page about Golden Retriever (Golden Retriever Puppy Training and Pictures). You may submit your dog photo and write a story at the bottom of the page. Then, I will publish your story there. I believe that other Golden's Owners love to hear from you. ;-)
Thanks.

Charlie -
You're "pedicure" looks great. My mom has not had the courage to do the same here - but I caught her checking out my own furry paws last night - and now she thinks she can handle it herself. Oh no!

We are just glad that the crazy old bat doesn't come at us with scissors. We might have to bite her.
Wow! You sue have very long feathering on your footies. My puppers had to get their footies trimmed for the show last week & they didn't enjoy it. I hate getting my feet trimmed too! It tickles.
Love licks & Hugs,

Sigh... we hate it when our mom comes after our paws with the weapon (aka scissors and/or nail clippers).
The weather over at your end looks lovely!
Okay, okay, okay, I get it. It's time to trim Duncan's feathers. He tripped over nothing yesterday on our walk so I figure it's high time I get this taken care of. When can you be here to do it? :)
Wow those look like Clydesdale paws at first! Good job holding your mom's hand steady with your mouth while she was trimming. I bet she could not have done it with out you! That gave me a good chuckle! Hope you found the pouncer!
I could never do that. I have a difficult enough time putting medicine in their ears but a hair cut. I know mine are a handful. I don't know how the groomer does it.
I am wif you, Charlie. And my the Mom can relate to pitcher number two!
I sure love my slippers, and it's clear you do too... but sometimes it's nice to run round in sneakers for a monf or two!
Yep. You are handsome boy, Charlie!
wif love from the Luke
